Actors like Jude Law, Wesley Snipes, Aaliyah, and David Bowie made the list. Check out the rest of the group to see if you agree with our list. Did we miss anyone?

Singer-turned-actress Aaliyah died in 2001, but not before wrapping “Queen of the Damned,” which was released six months after her death. The film was dedicated to the 22-year-old’s memory.

Fourteen years before Edward Cullen’s shimmery skin had girls swooning, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt captivated audiences in 1994’s “Interview With the Vampire.” Cruise played Lestat de Lioncourt, a character first developed by Ann Rice in her novel “The Vampire Chronicles.”

Brad Pitt plays Louis de Pointe du Lac, a man from New Orleans who is seduced to live the vampire lifestyle by Cruise’s character, Lestat. The film follows du Lac as he tells his life story (which spans 200 years). Fangs are a good look for the man who got his start in “Thelma and Louise.”

Television is a hotbed for sexy vampires. In HBO’s “True Blood,” Bill Compton, played by Stephen Moyer, is a bloodsucker with a Southern accent and a stellar bod. His penchant for protecting Sookie Stackhouse just adds to his appeal.

People may argue Johnny Depp is far from sexy in the 2012 remake of “Dark Shadows” as Barnabus Collins, but he’s so dreamy in real life he had to be on the list.

Vampire-crazed tweens could turn their attention to the tube in 2009 after the CW launched “The Vampire Diaries,” starring Ian Somerhalder (pictured) and Paul Wesley as handsome vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

In 1987, movie theaters were packed with fans flocking to see “Dirty Dancing” and “The Princess Bride,” but Johnny Castle (played by Patrick Swayze in “Dirty Dancing”) was no match for the sexy vampire Daniel (Kiefer Sutherland) in “The Lost Boys”—at least in our opinion. Sutherland sported a blonde mohawk (middle) for the film.

David Boreanaz’s relationship with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” surely presented a problem. She played Buffy, a slayer with a responsibility to kill all vampires, and he played Angel: one of her blood sucking targets. Would she have saved him if it weren’t for his especially good looks? Angel had its own spin-off with the same name. The show ran for five seasons.

Monica Bellucci played one of Dracula’s bride in the 1992 film “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.”
